Why does it feel so good having someone draw for you? I get tingles all over my body when I buy a commission or trade art with someone. just imagining someone making something for me gets me excited. The drawings aren't even nsfw or weird, it can be anything, but I also love giving a lot of details, providing references and feedback. I love praising other artists for their work. Are there any other people here who are similarly enthusiastic about this? I need to find people to do art trades with..

Not really. Not only will another artist never live up to my vision, but I also think nothing is beyond me if I decide to put enough effort and time. Time and my own bad posture are the only things the keep me from drawing more.

A based OP in this dumpster fire, what a rarity.
Clients like you are the ones that I love to work for the most: Enthusiastic about the order, good attitude and eager to work with me as oppose to just make me do all the thinking. If you're one willing to listen for suggestions on how to make the commissioned work better, that's my type of client alright.

Keep existing, OP.

For me, I started drawing every day just so I can get good and comfortable enough to tackle the projects I actually care about. For the past 15 years, I have been writing down my dreams when I wake up. I can seldom recall them, so someone with better luck than me could probably get to the 60k~ words I have typed up, a lot quicker.

I'm not the first to cultivate his dreams for inspiration, but if my experience can move 1 or 2 of you, this write up will have been worth it. Write down everything. A passing thought, a waking dream, a dream that you can half remember, everything. Start a .txt file and pile them up. Doesn't matter if you think it's boring, dreams have an ethereal quality to them that you will never be able to reproduce. And who knows, this boring thought you just had right now could be the missing piece you need in the future.

Writing down these passing thoughts of note will add up, and with luck, some of them will fit with one another and after a while you have yourself the foundation for a story that you actually care about. For me, this may very well have saved my life. It gave me something to care about at first, when my future prospects looked bleak, and now, a thing to strive for. I want to tell these stories and I work every day to make that dream a reality.

I appreciate it. What that anon said is definitely true though, I really have to be careful about "sneaking" fetish fuel into my art even out of habit. I'm very careful now on my intentions behind every design. Beyond that, you really have to get used to existing in a vacuum. Where as before you had thousands of likes on a pic, now you can count the likes on two hands. Still, no amount of popularity and success is worth harming others. (Especially when they are things you gotta someday answer for)
>>7373547
Your comics have been very enjoyable to look through (at least the two I've seen in the thread)

I'd say the only thing holding you back is that your composition in some of the panels and backgrounds are a tad bland. By no means should that stop you or hold you back, but perhaps something to keep in mind in your future studies. Your character drawing and posing is just fine, but if you could have the nice comp/backgrounds to go with it I think it would really bring it all together.

Thank you. The composition is lacking, I'm still trying to figure things out, but the bigger panels are a bit special, though. The pose is taken from a random page of a random issue of either Vogue for women and The Esquire for men. I was initially trying to replicate what the guy who made JoJo's Bizarre Adventure did, but that was based on a faulty assumption that he abused references to draw his stuff. After re-reading his comics, I can say for sure that he is very good at what he does and only copies fashion covers a little bit as opposed to all the time.

I will continue to study fashion poses for the bigger panels and wing it for smaller ones because it really does help my learning, I find. This does mean that I will have to get a lot more creative with my backgrounds in the future, to fill the void; I try to replicate the framing of the pose from the reference in the space the character takes. Maybe add a character in the background, that GPT2.0 did not specifically call into the scene or just get better at using the furniture in the room.

Pretty much just hopedoomposting.

But ben thinking we have had the longest wait ever since Dangan V3.

So, would it be that experience to fund and lead an indie team to make a dangan like social battle royale game?

Laeaning closer to the original "distrust" base game and make 12+ characters that autists can get attached too while also avoiding some of the issues the actual games had.

Anywho hope all of you get at least one project done, legit. It is so annoying to have so many dreams and not getting them done.

ITT: Discuss good customer service practices for autists.

Anons who've done nsfw commissioning, I need any advice you can give me on how to be a good business man and not piss people off.

I plan on doing free requests, then growing enough to open a nsfw pateron.

I got several questions:

1) How should you overall communicate with people? I plan on being direct and keeping talk to a minimum so that I can get shit out of the way and avoid potential drama.

2) What was the worst customer you've encountered and how did you resolve the situation?

Share any experiences you've had and how to effectively deal with them.

>>
>>7374141
If you want to do free request I suggest you go into draw threads around 4chan, when it's trough discord or social media, I noticed people are greedy when it comes to free stuff. I tell you this by experience.

>1) How should you overall communicate with people? I plan on being direct and keeping talk to a minimum so that I can get shit out of the way and avoid potential drama.
Minimum and efficient communication is key, if you let know to your client that you're in trouble completing their stuff or else, is highly appreciated for commissioners. If you can be polite and impersonal will help you a lot.

>2) What was the worst customer you've encountered and how did you resolve the situation?
Unironically, the worst "customers" I found were people that were too insisting in their free requests, asking for rushing the work, changing stuff after the lines are made, crying publicly that they didn't received their request while asking for more free art. Just don't draw for free except it's a thing you genuinely like
>>
>>7374404
like, literally talk, like polite? anon? is not that hard making a conversation and being neutral.
Ok ok maybe i'm too naive specially with this new generations that lack some social skills, hmm an usual talk about commission for me is like this:
>Presentation
>the guy dont present itself and what he wants, instead say "hi" or "how you doing" kind of stuff
You reply to that: "hi i'm good" kind of answer, following "can i help you", that's move the flow to the point faster.
>the guy present itself and what he wants in the first message, kind of "hi are you open to commission i want to commission something" kind of message
All good you said yes i'm ok to work what do you want.

>Discussion
>the guy put the info, character, pose, idea, etc
you say yes, i can do that, i can't, could be like this instead of that, you want the x thing of x character the same way, you want the boobs ass x size, you want x expression, x background, guy said ok, set a price, ask for his paypal email, send the invoice, wait for payment, payment done, you start to sketch

If the guy never mention information first and is the kind of guy that leaves you all the shit, is the "i want a drawing of this character but no idea of the pose and theme" then you ask those things first: a full body?, a x option of my offers in the commission info? front back view? kind of pose? proportions? expression? etc. In this case you also send the invoice and wait for payment, then start to sketch the idea and present, you need to ask those details in text first so you avoid making a new sketch again if you miss information, in general he will like or ask for some adjustment of the sketch, like... bigger tits, or x expression instead, shit like that.

>>7374479
as the other anon said you first declare somewhere, like in your commission info, what you offer, since you declared that, you move the conversation on those aspects, also in the things that you draw, because of course that's why people come to you in first place.
If you have some "space" because the guy dont show a specific pose, and tells you something like "i want a riding sex pose" or "i want a pinup" or "standing looking at the viewer saying x thing" or whatever, you could, if you want, make multiple pose sketchs, like 2-3, only of the poses, mannequin kind of sketches, and present that to choose one. Usually you will be able to do that with decent priced commissions, because of course you are wasting time on that if you are making a 20usd commission or less, beg tier shit.

You also avoid andy missconception or anxiety if you put in your info things like: the hings you do, the prices of multiple characters, of you charge more for backgrounds or alternative versions, the time you take (an approximate), etc. Also you need to mention that again when you talk with the person if necessary, like, you recieve the info, think, asnwer "will take x days approx"

>>7374141
I did NSFW commissions for about a year and a half before I burnt out hard on it.

My thoughts:
- Do not do free requests unless you really truly enjoy doing it. It devalues your product. Just make your art and build socials and people will come.
- Patreon works best as a new artist if you have request tiers people can pay for or some other method of engagement.
- Be nice, polite, and CLEAR in your communications. You don't need to suck up to people, they're customers and you're making a product for them. (My answer for your question #1)
- Be firm on your boundaries and define them before you start taking commissions or you WILL burn out in the middle of drawing Applejack being compressed into a cube while a fat alligator fursona masturbates anally.
- I didn't have many bad experiences. My clients were all quite nice but I fucking HATED drawing their OCs at the end. It just killed my soul. So unless you are full degenerate, or maybe really young, prepare for that eventuality.
